"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing...?"

Lu Densi was startled as Jiang Chen pulled out all the Divine Lock Chains. How was he going to control Fa Rang now?

"It's over!"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, waving his hand. The Divine Lock Chains turned into a pure stream of Soul Power and shot into the space between his eyebrows.

Pfft!

As Jiang Chen put away the Divine Lock Chains, Na Lita spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face turned pale as she glanced at Jiang Chen.

The Divine Lock Chains were tightly connected to her soul. Jiang Chen retrieving them meant he had fully refined them. While they were inside Fa Rang, she hadn't noticed much, only that the chains were being isolated by some force. But when they were withdrawn, her soul immediately suffered significant damage!

Still, she didn't dare ask Jiang Chen to return the chains to her!

Over?

Lu Densi ignored Na Lita and stared at Jiang Chen with confusion in his eyes. Over how? What was over?

Buzz!

An ethereal and profound aura emerged. Fa Rang flipped over and stood up from the ground, releasing an overwhelming Saint Realm aura that enveloped everyone present in an instant.

"He's recovered?!"

"Fa Rang's cultivation level has fully restored—did he regain control?"

"Such an incredible technique—controlling someone without even relying on Divine Lock Chains!"

"Mr. Jiang is truly extraordinary!"

Members of the Holy Court all gazed at Jiang Chen in admiration.

Lu Densi furrowed his brows slightly, murmuring inwardly.

Is that really it? Controlling him without the Divine Lock Chains?

For some reason, Lu Densi couldn't shake off a lingering sense of unease in his heart.

"Enough!" Fa Rang raised his head, addressing Yan Hu and the six others still fighting in the air.

"Judgment Chief! Wake up!"

"Judgment Chief, don't let him manipulate you!"

"Fight to the end!"

In the air, Xi'er and two others cried out in grief and fury.

Xi'er roared, and an intense, blazing white light erupted from his body: "Jiang Chen, I was a fool to trust you! Even if it costs my life, I will make sure His Holiness the Pope wakes up! If the three of us die, the Holy Court will absolutely start to suspect you!"

Buzz buzz!

Bu Langshi and Si Erfa also burst into brilliant white light—the Holy Court's unique Secret Technique: Light Self-Destruction!

"No!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in alarm, a hint of urgency flickering in his eyes.

Swish!

A shadow swiftly leaped to the trio's side. An immense force of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy instantly sealed all three of them.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The white light around the trio vanished, their auras dissipating, leaving them suspended in midair and completely immobile, unable even to lift a finger as they were thoroughly restrained.

"Judgment Chief, don't aid the wicked! Snap out of it!" Xi'er looked despairingly at Fa Rang, who was controlling them, and pleaded helplessly.

Bu Langshi and Si Erfa also displayed looks of utter despair, tearful and powerless.

Fa Rang glanced at them, smirked slightly, and, with a flicker, brought the trio before Jiang Chen.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yan Hu and his companions landed near Jiang Chen as well.

"Mr. Jiang, how should we handle them?" Fa Rang turned to Jiang Chen for instruction.

"So obedient!"

"Indeed, and without the Divine Lock Chains, there won't be any traceable evidence either!"

"Damn! This is the work of a true master! Incredible!"

"No wonder he's a legend! Who would've thought..."

"Jiang Chen has already earned the trust of the Flame Dragon Group. If he gains the trust of the Holy Court next, then wouldn't that mean..."

Members of the Holy Court gasped in awe at Fa Rang's demeanor toward Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with hope for the future.

Seeing Fa Rang in control of Xi'er and the other two, the doubt that had just emerged in Lu Densi's mind quickly faded away. Turning to Jiang Chen, he bowed respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, I leave the cleanup to you. What should we do with these three?"

Smack!

A crisp slap echoed as Jiang Chen hit Lu Densi hard across the face.

Everyone froze momentarily. Whispering filled the air: "Looks like Mr. Jiang is still upset!"

"Mr. Jiang, what is the meaning of this?"

Lu Densi frowned and spoke firmly. As someone at the peak of the Venerable Realm, being repeatedly struck by Jiang Chen was a tremendous humiliation. Although he could sense the slaps coming, he hadn't dared to evade them. Today's debacle had left him so apprehensive that he couldn't muster the courage to oppose Jiang Chen.

"Why? You dare to ask why?"

Jiang Chen shot Lu Densi a fierce glare. "I'll tell you why!"

Smack, smack, smack!

A series of slaps rang out as Jiang Chen struck Lu Densi ten more times in a row, leaving Lu Densi's expression dark and stormy. The Holy Court members were utterly stunned—never had they expected Jiang Chen to so thoroughly disgrace Lu Densi.

"Mr. Jiang, I demand an explanation!" Lu Densi snarled, glaring at Jiang Chen.

"Fine, I'll give you an explanation." Jiang Chen's voice was calm as he spoke.

Fixing Lu Densi with an unwavering gaze, Jiang Chen took a few steps back, returning to Fa Rang's side.

"Because chances like this might not come again. A peak Venerable standing still for me to strike without resistance—such moments are precious! Of course, I had to enjoy it while it lasted!"

Jiang Chen suddenly broke into a mischievous grin. "Well? Deputy Chief Lu Densi, how does it feel to be slapped?"

"You..."

Lu Densi's brows knitted tightly as a surge of anger at being humiliated coursed through him.

"Judgment Chief Fa Rang, I've had my fun. Take care of this quickly. Let's go check on His Holiness the Pope's injuries. With this much commotion and Dragon Saint Senior not showing up, I'm afraid the Pope's condition might be grave!" Jiang Chen abruptly dropped his smirk and turned to Fa Rang.

"Understood!"

Fa Rang nodded slightly. Lifting his head, he directed an icy killing intent toward Lu Densi!

"What are you doing?!"

Lu Densi's heart skipped a beat as he let out a cry of alarm.

Buzz!

The atmosphere grew heavy in an instant. An immense, oppressive force descended upon the members of the Holy Court.

"What's happening?!"

"Lord Fa Rang, what are you doing?"

"Why... why are we being targeted?"

Confusion shrouded the faces of the Holy Court members as they spoke.

Swish!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Fa Rang soared into the air, radiating a fierce aura. With one hand, he gestured toward Lu Densi.

Swish!

The longsword at Lu Densi's waist was yanked out and flew into Fa Rang's grasp, glowing with a holy, radiant light.

"What are you doing?!" Lu Densi shouted in panic.

"The Saint Sword is not fit for someone like you!"

Fa Rang spat out coldly with disdain as he raised his voice. "Judgment of Light!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The glowing sword in Fa Rang's hand emitted a blinding light, which slashed toward Lu Densi and the Holy Court members behind him with overwhelming force.
